Hello, I am Bill Mitchell, Kristin’s father. The same Kristin this event is named after.

I want to thank each of you for focusing on my daughter’s run/walk and coming out and join us. There are some who have never missed this event going back to 2006. That’s very strong support. We are always welcoming newcomers to this cause, so please join us.

My family is no different from yours. Regular people living their lives until a call came from the police one evening. We never expected a devastating tragedy to come into our lives, but it did. And it still happens to other families, too. The aim of the Kristin Mitchell Foundation us to help others so they never need to lose a loved one to dating violence. We have learned the hard way and what we know we teach. And what we teach has helped quite a lot.

Please join us on April 8th. It’ll only occupy the morning that day and you will feel like you’ve done something good for people you care about. You will also learn a few points about how to prevent dating violence from ensnaring someone you know.
